SDG 15 · Indicator 15.3.4

Reducing the impact of alien species

Reducing the impact of invasive alien species requires identifying them, monitoring their spread and selecting interventions that protect local ecosystems. The reviewed practices, news, events and reports did not verify a university-specific invasive species inventory or an implemented control plan.

General landscape maintenance or a biodiversity objective has not been treated as evidence of invasive species control. A species and site inventory, risk assessment and post-intervention monitoring records are needed to complete the indicator.
